The wind industry and those that promote it look more ridiculous, by the day. An entirely weather dependent power source, abandoned a couple of centuries back for pretty obvious reasons, exhibits all the resilience of a snowflake in summer. The irony that some ordinary old meteorological phenomenon (wind, rain and lightning) can easily knock wind … Continue reading Irony Alert: Weather Destroys Weather Dependent Power Source – Lightning Incinerating Wind Turbines

State of Delusion: Push to Kill-Off Arizona’s Nuclear Plant & Go 50% Wind & Solar
Believing that wind and solar can power your economy means sacrificing our good friends, logic and reason. It also demands ignorance of the most basic of facts: eg, sunset and calm weather. The inevitable consequence of those daily occurrences on wind and solar power generation ought to be apparent to all but those suffering … Continue reading State of Delusion: Push to Kill-Off Arizona’s Nuclear Plant & Go 50% Wind & Solar
Wind ‘Powered’ Britain Scrambles to Build Nuclear Power Plants as UK Wind ‘Drought’ Hits
There’s a reason that windmills were abandoned in the 19th century: it’s called “the wind”. In 2018, only profiteers and idiots remain as advocates for wind power. In the former category stands Bloomberg, which has been front and centre when it comes to promoting the purported ‘virtues’ of subsidised wind and solar. So, it’s somewhat … Continue reading Wind ‘Powered’ Britain Scrambles to Build Nuclear Power Plants as UK Wind ‘Drought’ Hits
No Way Back From RE Disaster: Energy Minister Abandons Australia’s Power Consumers
What passes for political leadership in this country is engaged in a wind and solar-fuelled economic suicide mission. Subsidies to grid wrecking wind and solar (when soft loans, green schemes and taxpayer handouts are added) are pushing $5 billion a year, punishing households and businesses alike. As wind and solar power capacity increases, power prices … Continue reading No Way Back From RE Disaster: Energy Minister Abandons Australia’s Power Consumers
Australia Enters Third World: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Forces Industrial Users Off Grid
Dictating when and if power consumers get electricity was once the preserve of communist dictatorships (think the USSR, North Korea and Cuba). Thanks to a maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar, Australia now sits comfortably in the same dismal ranks. No longer can industrial users expect to have power according to their business plans … Continue reading Australia Enters Third World: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Forces Industrial Users Off Grid
Subsidised Wind & Solar Driving Out-of-Control Power Prices: Business Hit With 24% Hike
Australia’s energy policy has been hijacked by lunatics, whose persistent ignorance has left it with out-of-control power prices and a grid all set to collapse. Pinning your energy needs to the weather was never going to pan out all that well. Of the Australian states, South Australia set the benchmark for virtue signalling stupidity; establishing … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Driving Out-of-Control Power Prices: Business Hit With 24% Hike
Renewables Disaster Killing Australian Industry: Big Users Forced to Shut Down In Calm & Cloudy Weather
Australia’s enviable prosperity isn’t due to sunshine and breezes, it’s down to iron ore, coal and a bevy of other minerals including copper and uranium. Australia also has an abundance of bauxite which, when a reliable and affordable power sources is added, turns ‘NT road-gravel’ into aluminium - a high-value metal used in all … Continue reading Renewables Disaster Killing Australian Industry: Big Users Forced to Shut Down In Calm & Cloudy Weather
Intolerable Cruelty: Rocketing RE Power Costs Punishing Poorest & Most Vulnerable
Energy poverty was once synonymous with dirt-poor Third World countries. Now, thanks to an obsession with subsidised wind and solar, it’s part and parcel of life at the bottom in the First World, too. As winter starts to bite across Australia, the working poor, unemployed and pensioners face an anxious battle between being frozen to … Continue reading Intolerable Cruelty: Rocketing RE Power Costs Punishing Poorest & Most Vulnerable
Wind & Solar Fantasy Unplugged: 100% RE Means Total Economic Destruction
There’s something almost comical when RE zealots try to outdo each other. Those that worship wind and solar are deluded, to be sure. However, those claiming that nature’s wonder fuels can deliver 100% of our power needs are truly ‘touched’. At a physical level it is, of course, possible. But building TWhs worth of pumped … Continue reading Wind & Solar Fantasy Unplugged: 100% RE Means Total Economic Destruction
If Wind and Sunshine are Free, Why Is It That Wind & Solar Power Are So Expensive?
Facts tend to flummox renewable energy zealots, especially the way adding wind and solar sends power prices into orbit (see above). After all, they keep telling us that the wind and sun are absolutely free, and getting cheaper all the time. Here’s America’s top green, Michael Shellenberger taking an axe to another RE furphy. A … Continue reading If Wind and Sunshine are Free, Why Is It That Wind & Solar Power Are So Expensive?
